陸地及保育政策 terrestrial & conservation policy保護自然生態環境極為重要。Protecting naturalhabitats is of paramountimportance.18 annual review 2007-2008
克盡己職專注監管本港市民對「公眾諮詢」並不陌生。幾乎所有建議中的計劃、項目和倡議都需向公眾披露相關資料 , 並訂出公眾發表意見的期限。雖然發展工程項目大致相同 ,但由於本港有大量項目推出 , 加上文件內容冗長、用字專門 , 一般人幾乎不可能掌握所有最新的計劃。香港人的生活壓力沉重 ,單是應付家庭、工作已令人喘不過氣來 , 故即使是關注本港自然環境的人士 , 亦無法抽空細閱每年由各發展商提交 , 數量繁多的發展計劃書。世界自然基金會的科學家與政策專家是香港自然環境的看守人 , 負責審視生態敏感地區的發展建議 , 不論是村落的小型工程 , 或大型的商業發展項目 , 都是我們所關注的。每個項目都對自然環境構成潛在風險 , 小組檢討有關建議 , 指出項目有哪些重大風險 , 並在可能的情況下 , 提出相應解決辦法 , 緩減對環境的負面影響 , 有時甚至會嘗試阻止項目落實。這份工作需要久坐案前細閱報告 , 有時更要進行實地考察 , 作第一手調查 , 並非一份令人豔羡的工作 ; 然而這支專業團隊卻專心致志 , 孜孜不倦 , 認真對待工作 , 在諮詢期間扮演積極和支援角色。審視發展工程項目並非令人豔羨的工作 , 但本會的專業團隊卻專心致志 , 希望能改善香港環境。While it may not be glamorous, WWF’s team is committed to reviewing the development proposals that shape Hong Kong’s environment.A watchful eyePublic consultation exercises are well known to HongKong residents. Almost every proposed project,programme and initiative must make its informationavailable to the public and have a period for public comment.Development projects are no different but with the breakneckpace of construction and growth in Hong Kong, plus the lengthand highly technical language of the related documents, it is nextto impossible for the average person to stay abreast of the latestplans. The demands of family, employers and life in general leavelittle time to think about the numerous development proposalsthat are submitted every year, even for those who care deeplyabout protecting our natural heritage.Enter WWF’s team of scientists and policy experts. This smallgroup acts as Hong Kong’s watchdog – reviewing developmentproposals for ecologically sensitive areas that range in scale fromsmall village projects to the biggest commercial developments.Each project carries with it potential risks to the naturalenvironment and our team reviews the proposal to pinpointsignificant risks and, if found, offers solutions to mitigate thenegative environmental impacts, and occasionally to try andprevent the project going ahead.Requiring long hours behind a desk poring over reports, withthe occasional site visits to perform first-hand investigations, itisn’t the most glamourous of jobs. But this dedicated team takesits duties very seriously and works tirelessly to play an active andsupportive role during the consultation periods.© Alan Leung / WWF Hong KongOpposite page: © Susan A.
